“If we're saying, then, that Nadal has a 7mm abdominal tear, that's small compared with the 17mm one (rising to 25mm by the end of the tournament) that Djokovic had in Melbourne 2021. And ND played another 4 matches with that injury.”
The same expert also points out:
“We don't know yet if Rafa will even play against Kyrgios due to that injury, but it's very possible that he could play with some sort of medication and for me this puts Kyrgios into a position mentally that he's never been before.
Now, instead of being the underdog, fighting and loving it against the elite players with (seemingly) nothing to lose, he's now expected to beat an injured opponent and make a major final for the first time in his career.
How will he handle it?
I can see him melting down at some point in this match if Rafa does show up in reasonable shape and remember, it's not certain at all that the Kyrgios body can handle much more tennis.”
